Aerodynamic stability of bridges

The aerodynamic characteristics of bridge sections can be determined by simple wind-tunnel tests. These characteristics can then be used to determine the lift force and overturning moment on any bridge section without large scale model tests. Also, the slope of the lift and torque curves obtained in...
